He had not usecrtle: terms imputed to him, but what he said amounted to that, and be thought he had a right to say so. Mr. Alderman Harmer said he would not prolong this dig- , cussion. He would admit, what the witness could prove, that a Dispatch was purchased at his office in Fleet-street. The complainant was bound to prove every averment in his infor mation, but he would save him the trouble by further admit. ting that he (Alderman Harmer), was above fourteen years of age. Now Mr. Smith would hare the goodness to:show how he would class him to bring him within the Act, which said that " no tradesman, artificer, workman, labourer, or other person shall do," &c. The Rev. Gentleman said he was a tradesman ; a person who sold Newspapers was a newsvendcr, and a person who vended things must be a tradesman. Mr. Alderman Harmer supposed Mr. Smith, would say that the driver of a stage coach carrying parcels and passengers was a " carrier," and the law prohibited "carriers"from doing their ordinary work on the Lord's-day ? The Rev. Gentleman said yes. Then, replied Mr. Alderman Harmer, the Judges have de cided that they are not carriers, and that the Act did not eg tend to any but those precisely defined in it. The Rev. Gentleman then began to read the imprint at the .end of the Dispatch, that it was printed and published by James Harmer and Robert Bell. Mr. Alderman Harmer objected that this was not evidence. That fact should be proved by calling a witness from the Stamp-oiEce. That evidence, however, would not help the present case; for if he were the publisher of all the papers, he might not be the identical seller of whom Mr. Smith's witness purchased. The Rev. Gentleman renewed his observations. It was clear that the persons exempt from the operations of the Act were only those especially excepted, as inn and eating-house keepers. Mr. Alderman Harmer begged his pardon, but he had but just explained to him that the Act only included those spe- Tially enumerated, because the Judges decided that a stage 'coachman was not within the reach of the Act, which mentioned carriers, waggon-men, carmen, horse-coroners, rovers, &c. The Solicitor for the John Bull said the Rev. Gentleman knew that very well, for he had failed in an attempt to prevent the Southampton coaches from running on the Sabbath. The Rev. Gentleman resumed. There were hundreds of' trades, and it would be impossible to enumerate them. If a stationer opened his shop on the Sabbath, would not he he punishable as a " tradesman ?" Sir Peter Laurie said, the common sense view of the mat ter was, that if a person had a shopful of papers, which he sold for profit, he was a tradesman. \%Then he was Lord Mayor, he ordered a quantity of sloe-leaves, prepared to imitate tea, to be burnt. It was argued before him by Coun sel that it was no offence so to prepare sloe-leaves, because the Crown had granted a patent for it, just as it was urged in this case, that because the Government received money for the stamps taken out by the Sunday newspapers, it was no offence to publish such papers ; hut he disregarded such arguments, holding that the Act of the Crown or Government could not make that legal which was before contrary to law, or an Act of the Legislature. Mr. Alderman Harmer said the complainant had not yet made out his case. He denied that the publisher was neces sarily the seller ; or that, in a proceeding on this statute, a master was answerable for an act of his servant ; or that a seller of a Sunday newspaper committed any offence; but the , complainant had not attempted to prove that he was doing that on the Sabbath which he did on the other six days of the week, so as to make out his allegation of doing work of his ordinary calling on the Lord's day. Sir Peter Laurie thought there was nothing in that point. The Lev. Gentleman did not understand it to be necessary that the party should be doing that on the Sunday which he ordinarily did on other days. He had stated that Mr. Alder man Harmer had carried on his ordinary calling of a news vender on the Sunday. Now, a person who sold news papers must be a news-vender; and if a master directed his servant to sells goods on the Sabbath, the master was the guilty person. A doubt was expressed whether a newsvender was a trades man, so as to be made a bankrupt by the description of a newsvender. CONTRACTS FOR LOCKS, TOOLS, FILES, and PRICI r IRONMONGERY.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCIET Y (From the Morning Advertiser.) With the character given yesterday of the National Loan Fund Society, and its objects, as extracted from the Spectator, there is no reason to quarrel. It fairly enough sets forward its aims, objects, and intents, and advantages ; but it most unfairly compares them with those of the " Promoter Life Assurance," whose Directors never contemplated the exten sive application of the principle of life assurance as adopted by the Chairman and Directors of " the National Loan Fund." For the general purposes of life assurance, the " Promoter." and many other highly respectable establish ments provide in the most ample and beneficial manner; but valuable and well-constructed as many of them are, there is not one of them —nay, one of all of them —which offers the same extensive advantages for all classes of the community es the National Loan Fund. The highest may insure in it with the most perfect certainty of being amply reimbursed for the outlay of their money—the poorest and humblest may accom plish the same object, proportionate to their means. Is this the case in any other insurance office? With regard to the principle or basis of the Society—that of lending two-thirds of the amount paid upon a policy of in surance or deferred annuity, or any other object contemplated either by the insurer or the insured—we totally differ with the Spectator in the doubts which it expresses upon the subject. " It may be doubted," says it, " whether, on the whole, it is desir able to offer facilities to the assurers to neglect the provision for paying their premiums. It has always been accounted a chief advantage of the system of life assurance that it in a manner compels a certain saving. But once take away the danger of forfeiting the policy, and a strong motive to persist in frugality is destroyed. A policy can always be used as a security fur money borrowed; but under the ordinary ar rangements the operation is expensive and troublesome, whereas as, surers with the National Loan Fund will have simply to notify their wish to that effect, and two-thirds of their previous payments will tie immediately placed at their disposal. The temptation will be irresisti ble, it may be feared, to a large portion of the class whose attention it is the principal object of the new Society to engage." With regard to its having always been accounted a chief advantage of the system of life assurance that it in a manner compels a saving, we question not that such is the fact with all prudent persons; but, on the other hand, compulsion in this, as in many other instances, defeats its own object, and it is a fact not to be contradicted, because it can be proved from the office books of every insurance office in London, that the major part of their profits are derived, not from the legitimate process of business, but from lapsed policies—the parties in sured either declining to renew them because they can receive no adequate compensation, or not having the means of doing so. The Directors of the National Loan Fund provide for both thew emergencies. To the one they say you shall have adequate compensation —to the' other, you need not surrender your policy for the want of means. Is this " destroying a strong motive to frugality?" Is this furnishing a temptation to dissipation and carelessness? Nay, is not this very fact of the effecting of an insurance a proof, in most instances, that he who insures his life is a careful man, and that he will no readily forfeit his policy ?

THE interested in Raising of Water should buy this Paper. FOUNTAIN PUMPS. , The most powerful Hydraulic Machines in the world; and for the preservation of life and property at sea, the greatest discovery that has been made since the creation of man ; which a few extracts from a volume of testimonials will show : JAn Broome, Esq., of Popl, certifies that he had fixed three fountain pumps against three common pumps, one of each in three of his own ships, and found they always discharged double the water the common pumps discharged, and with less labour, likewise the 'ountain pumps proved infinitely less liable to choak. Captains Brock, Rutherford, Goodridge, and Greig, severally, testify that their ships, their cargoes and their lives were all saved through the means of the Fountain pumps ; and their testimonials most strikingly mark how various are the casualties that render these powerful machines all important on ship-board. The Spring encountered Heavy Gales of Wisii for eleven days, and must hare been lost, but for the fountain pump, at one time few tons more water in the vessel would have caused that catastrophe. The Argus. sprung a leak, and for eighteen days and nineteen oights the fountain pump is as worked without intermission, and -aved the ship, Whilst for all the water that could have been dis -harged with the common pump alongside of it (which the third 'lay became useless) the brig must have sank, and that in the course of a Few Hours. The Friends Goodwill, started a Butthead, and no pump in ex istence, but the fountain pump, could have saved that vessel from destruction. The Caroline had Two Seams of her Bottom partly left without Caulking, yet the fountain pump saved the ship, and 230 souls on board. These are some of the achievements of the fountain pump, in its infant sate as predicted in the " Norwich Mercury," July 24, 1824, in this formal manner :—" On the thirtieth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four, in the fifth year of the reign of King George the Fourth, was the first Fountain Pump in action. With which Two Alen can keep full of water a Spout of Six Inches bore, and save poor tars by thousands." Things were then mainly in theory ; but new the high practical bearing of the invention demands universal adoption ; and intimates the Preserva tion of Millions of Lives, and Property beyond calculation. The principle of the fountain pump is that of Jehovah's diaphragm pump, which Principle acts as freely in art as it does in nature. The principle of the common pump is bad, and its defects are palpable and insurmountable, if a pipe and a poker can be called a principle. Lifting pumps have hollow pokers, called pistons ; forcing pumps hive solid pokers called plungers. Lifting forcing pump s h ave h o ll ows p o k ers wor k i n p i pes, and solid pokers work in stuffing boxes. These pumps are the most defective from the extra friction of their solid pokers. The London manufacturers of the last defective tools, fulminate their dependents who dare to fix fountain pumps; yet no man in England dares meet the Norwich pump in fair public combat. However, the public are not to be gulled; and fric tion pumps, both old and new, public and private, for low or high elevations with th e power of man, horse, or steam, keep falling in all eirections as frictionless pumps approach their situations; and fall the common will, or common sense must. way i There is no mystery or difficulty in rai s i ng o f water now the right s know n , for it is only lifting a weight in a fluid state. Rule to guage cylinders, and how t o prove what friction adds to to the labour o pumping. Mark, 13 feet of 1-inch pipe will con tain 71 oz., 13 feet of 4-inch pipe 711bs. of common water :—Take a Pump with a 4-inch cylinder, measure 39 inches downwards from the bottom of the spout to the water's surface, load a piston that has a cupped leather (which is the best kind of packing) till it sinks in .the water in the Pump ; then draw up the piston with a spring steelyard, and when the water-begins to rise, if the index of the steelyard stands at 281b5., 17 3 Albs. is the weight of that column of water, and 10 1 4 1bs. is the resistance of friction. This will unfold more than engineers know respecting Pumps, guard the experimental public from gullibility, and prove that it is as easy to make a balloon dangle the Alonument over London, as it is to make a good Pump upon the old principle. See in Mechanics' Magazine (No. 658) a drawing of a ship's fountain Pump, with raising of water for general purposes exert'. plified. TO THE COUSINS OF MR.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.) THE FUNERAL OF THE SUFFERERS. TUESDAY NIGIIT. —On returning from my walk over the scene of Courtenay's exploits (many of which I have yet to re late at greater leisure) I beheld a spectacle which I feel con fident no lapse of years shall erase from my memory. Pre vious to the burial of Courtenay five graves had been opened, side by side, adjoining his, as if the authorities were prepared to inter all his partners in outrage in one common grave of dishonour. I had meantime learnt in my ramble amongst their neat fields and cottages with Mr. Curling many interest ing particulars creditable and honourable to each of the fallen ; and, indeed, ere my return found my sympathies so much en gaged in their behalf that Icontempiated with sorrow the obli gation I lay under to witness their remains thus disgraced by a jus fervid= calculated only to inflict pain on the innocent. I was, however, agreeably disappointed, for at half-past four I found the graves in the vicinity of " Mad Tom" filled up, and by the especial grace and free will of the Clergyman and magistrates others opened in the several places indicated by the soothed and gratified (feelings of the survivors. It was a truly Christian triumph. Inver the less worthy feelings of humanity which so often [lurks in the breasts of those " clothed with a little brief tauthority" in the thape of love of justice, respect for the laws, determination to set an example, resolution, firmness, deter mination, and other such plausible and too often successful self-deceptions. lam sure they will never repent it, and I am sure they would have repented all their lives if they add an additional and gratuitous pang to the mass of misery apparent in the course of the awfully-multiplied ceremonial that ensued. I found that the bodies of Wm. Burford, Branchette, and Griggs, were to be committed to the earth 'in addition to the fi ve a l rea dy ment i one d , an d that eight raves were opened f or th e i r rece p t i on , a dj o i n i ng those - where their relatives an d f r i en d s l ay at rest. The graves ere not distant, fer all were ne i g hb ours an d f r i en d s, and ,ome might have exchanged th e i r p l ace o f fi na l rest, without violation of the cl a i ms o f ki n d re d , f or, strange to say, nea-ly 11 concernd, dead and a li ve , were re l ate d e it her by blood or termarriage. , The tolling of th e Ch urc h b e ll a ff or d e d add i t i onal proof of be benevolent i n t ent i ons now apparent " to soothe and corn in fort the weakshearted, and to raise up those who had fallen," and the reception of the coffins as they arrived from Boughton, within the little Church, preparatory to the performance of a full funeral service over all, left no doubt that everything would be done to soothe the mourners' anguish, and that Christian love and fellowship, and all the kindly feelings essen tial to good neighbourhood, were in a fair train of re-estab lishment in the parish of Herne-hill. The coffins, laid on vans or carts, were brought at intervals along the little bridle-road which winded thither, formerly a mile from the high road, attended each by its little band of real mourner,. Each was followed by (on an average) eight individuals, most respectably clad in deep mourning, amongst whom the father or uncle, supporting the weeping mother or wife, sons, brothers, and sisters, followed in long and me lancholy array ; all were relatives, all deeply affected and humiliated, sometimes meeting the glance of their neigh bour-mourners, and quickly turning away their eyes again, crowded with sympathetic tears. I never before saw so many real mourners. They far out-numbered the spectators. In. coed, I may truly say that all present were striken with un affected sorrow. It seemed like a public mourning for sonic national calamity. Respectable-looting old farmers, with heads like snow, sorrowful to behold there, and children, whose unconscious prattle about their absent fathers were still more affecting. What heart can support a appeal on the brink of the grave, like that made by a simple little child to-day_ " Mammy, when will he come home to us?" As the Rev. Mr. Handley ascended the pulpit, and the extent of mourn ing and misery first offered itself to his eyes there, they filled with tears, and at first he could with difficulty proceed. His manner was, however very different from that with which he had read the brief service outside the church for Courtenay. His voice was at times particularly impressive. The words, " Brethren, be not deceived—evil communications corrupt good manners,"• was heard, and felt, and responded to in every heart. --, After the service within, the parties of mourners separately followed the body of their relatives without, where the con cluding portion was performed over the open grave as usual, till all had been interred. The female mourners severally bore up with comparative fortitude till the clay had closed up the grave, and then, left to themselves, presented sad spectacles of trembling and wretchedness. Many sought consolation in the sympathy of fellow-mourners, in other bands, but their sorrow was so infectious that even old and har dened men completely gave way under it, and retired from the scene with eyes red with weeping. I could not remain to see it out, and departed, praying that I might never suffer such a sight again. I never before saw fanaticism work such extensive misery, or so completely self-punished and subdued. lam satisfied of one thing, and would give much that I could impart my convic tion to your readers —that these simple, deluded, but honest and feeling people have suffered enough ; and a further inflic. tion by the arm of the law on their still suffering relatives would be absolute cruelty.

The first case was that in whitdi the Judges held that the statute must be con strued strictly, and that the words " other person " being general words following an enumeration of special subjects, could not be allowed to extend to subjects not enumerated ; and, therefore, though a stage.coachman was very similar to a carrier or waggoner, yet as the two latter had been specified and the other omitted, the Judges would not include the coachman. The next case was where a party sought to avoid a hiring by the year, because it was made on the Sunday ; but the Court would not hold the hiring to be a work of or dinary calling. The next case was as to a warranty of a horse given on the Sabbath. The warranty was held to be void, the Judges expressing an opinion that the law intended not only to prevent such dealing as by its publicity offended public decency, but required a private as well as public absti nence from every sort of trafficking. Sir Peter asked if Mr. Smith could tell him what news papers were published in the times when the statute was passed ?—The Rev. Gentleman said he had been inform , zd Sunday newspapers were printed in the days of Queen Elizabeth.

This was contradicted. The papers then published issued from the Government at irregular periods, to inform the people of the preparations in Spain to invade England, and ceased when the Armada was destroyed. The history of newspapers might be read in the 9th volume of the Saturday Magazine. The first Sunday newpaper was published after the American war. Sunday newspapers were not disti nc tly recognized in the Stamp 'Acts, but were referred to as " weekly newspapers," there was art instance of indirect legis lation in favour of a Sunday newspaper in the 37th Geo. 111., c. 90, sec. 34. This clause was introduce:l for the benefit of the Bell's Weekly Messenger alone, and gan it for many years the privilege of a higher discount (12 per' cent.) than other newspapers which were started afterwards, z.rd sold at the same price. Inasmuch as the Legislature occa.lionally granted exemptions, the injustice of extending the Sunday Act to newspspers which were not in existence at the time it was passed, might be seen—for if they had been in existence, they might have obtained an exemption.

A Fountain Pump was fixed at Messrs.

Raising of water for the uses of life being brought to a science by the new rolling principle in Pumps, the result of any moving power is known, and all hilliness men, such as brewers, maltsters, dyers, eze , sce , 8,e., may estimate what power they want. L am 'o e .....__For manual power a man of ordinary strength can apply .01bs. force at a Pump lever, lift up 131bs. , pull down 271b5., move his outer hand through 10 feet space, and average 30 such strokes per minute for an hour (and about treble that effect for 20 seconds)• Now, as 201bs. force moving through 10 feet space raises 2001bs. of water 1 foot high, 30 such strokes raise 6,0001b5. of water 1 foot high per minute, divide the 6,000 by the number of feet the water is raised, and it will the qu an tit y i n pounds raised per minute to any altitude.

He commenced his endeavours to put an end to trading on the Sabbath eight years ago, at Southamp ton, because he found the hostlers were kept from church to attend the coaches which arrived during the hours of the morn ing service. A person replied, that the evil was not in the arrival of the coaches, but the laziness of the clergy, in not giving such per sons an opportunity, like the Roman Catholics, to attend at other hours. The Catholic chapels ;Fere open from six in the morning till eight at night, and the service was repeated every three hours. The Rev. Gentleman declared that he labozzred for the sake of the poor, that they might not be compelled to work seven days for the wages of six.

The oldest Lifting Friction Pump, acts without 'Valves, having several flat solid Pistons. The top Piston which takes the weight of the column of water, hassnearly as much Friction as a Piston in a Common Pump, the other Pistons have some Friction, and so have the joints of the Chain Sprocket Wheel, &c. The water constantly repassing the Pistons in a Chain Pump, renders it an unsteady Machine, varying its effect according to the speed it is worked at, and the height to which it raises the water. A better machine for a 15 than for a 30 feet lift, because the greater the altitude, the faster the water re asses the Pistons. I h ave no t seen a Chain Pump, but from the drawings, it is, without doubt, an ex pensive and very precarious Machine. Dare England assist in fairly testing this National Tax of defec tive lumber, against the Fountain Pump, by a mode of trial, avoiding nautical tricks till after decision, upon these the most frugal terms. If Government w ill command a best Chain Pump, to be fixed with a stage for twelve Men to stand and pump upon at Norwich ; the Patentee will lend a Room 56 feet by 27, and 23 feet high, with a fleet Well near the proposed stage, and fix a Fountain Pump by the side of the Chain Pump, in order that both Machines may be accurately tested, against Time, Man for Man, to the best altitudes for the Chain P ump, as not exceeding 24 feet.

A superior effect is all th a t wan ts demonstration in this case. For as regards economy, simplicity, portability, conveniency, non liability of choaking or deranging, durability and easy reparation, these prope r ti es the Fountain-pump possesses in a very high degree over the Chain -pump. And for steadiness of action, the new frictionless Pump stands alone, commonly performing, without the slightest diminution of effect for many years, whether in raising of water four feet or forty yards high. Thus in a very brief space of time, have the discerning portion of society practically annihilated its every im ag i nary objection. Whilst the real defects of the old Friction-pump have continued for thousands of years, and under every possible modification must remain for ever. As life or death hangs upon the efficiency of Pumps, humanity will aid the progress of the only efficient machine. Delivering of the water from Ships in a sinking state at sea is a work of such vast importance, that even crowned heads would do well in excit ing competition for the beet productions for that purpose. For constant exhibiti on it would show benevolence towards their sub jects, and guard the poor mariner by demonstration from fatal imposition, from which to protect the public is the duty of the world's Obedient servant and i nstructor, Patentee, B an k- p l ace, Norwich, June 4, 163 W : SHALDERS.CL SUNDAY- NEWSPAPERS. Yesterday Sir Peter Laurie attended at Guildhall to hear the complaints against Mr. Alderman► Harmer, one of the pro prietors of the Dispatch, and Mr. Bunnev, the publisher of the John Bull, for " doing the work of their ordinary callings on the Lord's Day." The chief clerk to the City Solicitor (who is ill) attended to advise the magistrate, as well as the clerk appointed to assist the sitting magistrate. The case against Mr. Alderman Harmer was entered upon first. The Rev. Herbert Smith said the case was one of consider able importance to the public. Mr. Alderman Harmer suggested that he had better call his evidence first, and make his comments afterwards. The Rev. Gentleman said he had employed a person to buy the papers at the respective offices, in Fleet -street, and ho appointed him to attend that day, but he was unaccountably absent. Sir Peter Laurie said he presumed Mr. Alderman Har mer would admit the sale of the paper. Mr. Alderman Harmer replied No. He was too old a lawyer to admit anything. The complainant ought to have been prepared to prove his charge. He had come twenty miles that day to answers the summons, which he must be permitted to say, ought not to have been granted. The Rev. Mr. Smith said he had travelled seventy miles to prove the complaint. lie was sorry the witness was absent. Mr. Alderman Harmer observed, that the Rev. Gentleman might have spared the observation he made when applying for the summons—that be wished to see him convicted of transgressing the law, in order that 112 might be taunted on the judgment seat by other transgressors. It would have been charitable in a clergyman to have refrained from such an ob servation till be (the Alderman) had been convicted of trans gressing. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON it A ILWAY.---.• During the first week after the opening of the London and Southampton Railway upwards of 5,000 persons travelled by it; andeuring the second week the number of passengers exe2eded 10,000. In the second week the Epsom races increased the number of passengers very considerably, and would have added 3,000 or 4,000 more to the number but for the tumult which occurred at the terminus at Nine Elms on the Derby day, which prevented the carriages for some time from going at all. It ap pears, however, that the regular and steady traffic on the railway id in. creasing day by day. The traffic on the road referable to the part al ready opened considerably exceeds the estimate formed by the directare and published in their report. The smoothness of the road, ind the comfort and elegance of the carriages, have been universally remarked. The only deficiency is a want of sufficient locomotive power, an evil of which almost all railways have to complain at their first opening. It has occurred in consequence of the contractor for the locomotive engines not having performed his part of the contract ; and we understand that it is in the course of being remedied, so that the evil will every week be diminished. A NEWSPAPER.--The newspaper is the chronicle of civilisation—the common reservoir into which every stream pours its living waters, and at which every man may come to drink. It is the newspaper that gives to liberty its practical life, its constant observa. tion, its perpetual vigilance, its unrelaxing activity. The newspaper in. forms legislation of public opinion, and it informs the people of the acts of legislation. * * And this is not all. The newspaper teems with the most practical morality; in its reports of crime and pu nishments you find a daily warning against temptation ; not a case in a police court, not a single trial of a wretched outcast or a trembling felon, that does not preach to us the awful lesson how imprudence leads to error, how error conducts to guilt, how guilt reaps its bitter fruit of an guish and degradation, 4 ' The newspaper is the familiar bond that binds together man and man—no matter what maybe the dis. twice of climate or the difference of race. Here it is that we have learned how to sympathise with the slave, how to battle for his rights—how to wrest the scourge from his taskmaster. Over land and over sea the voice of outraged h uman i ty has reached to th e g reat heart of England, and raised up a host of freemen as the liberators of the i enslaved and tor tured negro ! Th e newspaper i s a law-book for the indolent, a serm on for the thoughtl ess , a lib rary for the poor. It may stimulate the most indifferent, it may instruct the most profound. —E . L. Bulwer.
